Knock knock - who's there?

Run a bearing of some sort in the supra the other night. Sounds awful.

Pretty annoying but now it means I can pull the engine and do various things to it I've been wanting to do for a while.

Problem I have is, finding bearings for the 1G-GTE is proving to be rather difficult.

Does anyone on here have any suggestions, that isn't Toyota or Segedins?

Cheers

Would you consider a 1J/2J swap, or definitely going to stick with the 1G?

If anything I would do a 2j. But there's no realistic way I can afford the engine alone, let alone a new gearbox and everything that goes with it....

Yeah, I hear you. The 2J has almost double in price in just a few years

Thank god theyre so reliable, as I would hate to have to source a new one.

I'm sure Matt with the 1G Starlet had issues tracking parts down for his, he is on the Oldschool forum so could be worth a chat.

Weren't big ends the same/very similar to 4K?

I was under the impression that the 1G was very similar to the 4A. Correct me if Im wrong, someone.

Could be 4A, has been ages since I looked into it

I think the K series similarity was the piston rings?

Post by **Mr Revhead** » Sun Jul 27, 2014 7:23 pm

Definitely something the same between the K and G, rods? pistons? One version could be used, I recall looking into it when at Toyota but $&#$% if I remember what it was
